The two best fighting game series in my opinion in a epic crossover...How can this not be first it's the fighting game that's getting the most attention atm...

4Skullgirls

Unprecedented art style, the first American fighting games in ages, a humble development team, and a gruesome fight to survive against lawsuits, patent trolls, and publisher conflict. Skullgirls is a one of a kind videogame with a unique art style, an admirable cast of creative characters, and some unprecedented fighting game mechanics. The game is the love child of thousands of hours of blood, sweat and tears from its development team, and hundreds of thousands of loyal, devoted fans.

This game a million times over. Just like every other type of fighting game, being a fan-boy of the characters or specific series helps out quite a bit. In me case, I love Naruto, so a game featuring almost every important character shown so far was like DBZ: Budikai Techichi 3 all over again. Vast amount of characters and awesome controls. - Strokavich

7Dead or Alive 5

So much better than Tekken Tag 2. The characters look amazing, the moves are great and the game flows brilliantly. Mila & Rig are great new characters, and the addition of Akira, Pai & Sarah from Virtua Fighter pushes this into the best fighter of 2012.

I like the ways they interact with the environment, and the characters look real
